SIP Trunking
Priced by the minute or by the channel. Your call.
Metered SIP trunking bills you for exactly what you use. Unlimited — also called unmetered — bills you the same figure every month. Your call. Either way we bill in arrears: one bill, one payment, and no prepaid balance to top up.

Unlimited plans include 5,000 minutes per channel pooled across your account and are subject to the Fair Use and prohibited use terms in our Terms of Service. Additional minutes on the unlimited plans are billed at metered rates. Rates shown are for calling in the continental US. A $50 minimum monthly usage applies to metered plans, measured on usage before taxes and fees. Calls outside the continental US, taxes, USF, state or local surcharges, 911 surcharges, A2P 10DLC brand registration, and monthly campaign fees for SMS are billed separately.
Supported Phone Systems
Our trunks are standards-based SIP, so they register against essentially any modern PBX.
Running something not on this list? It almost certainly works. Tell us what you have and we will confirm before you buy anything.
A Licensed Carrier, Not a Reseller
Ahoy Telecom is fully compliant with FCC requirements for voice service providers. We maintain an active listing in the FCC Robocall Mitigation Database, hold our own STIR/SHAKEN certificate, provide A-level attestation, are a Form 499-A filer, and hold an Operating Company Number (OCN).
A-level attestation is the highest signing level in STIR/SHAKEN, and it is what the receiving carrier looks at when deciding whether to trust the caller ID on your outbound calls. Providers who resell someone else’s trunks sign with someone else’s certificate, or do not sign at all.
What would your bill be?
Put in your numbers, minutes, and messages. We total both of our plans, charge you the cheaper one, and run the same inputs through three carriers people ask us about.

Why customers choose Ahoy Telecom SIP Trunking
Over Twilio
Twilio has no flat-rate plan. Every minute is metered, so the more you call the more you pay and nothing caps it. At 60,000 outbound minutes a month our unlimited channels run $206 against their $712, a difference of $6,069 a year on identical traffic, and at call center volume the gap passes $13,000 a year. Their headline per-minute rate reads well right up until you total a real month. Caller ID name is the other charge that compounds: Twilio bills $0.01 for every inbound lookup, so a business taking 2,300 calls a month pays about $23 a month, $280 a year, simply to see who is calling, and we include it. Numbers are $1.15 against our $1.00, and that gap repeats on every DID you own, every month. The real difference shows up after you sign up. Twilio hands you API documentation and a ticket queue. We configure your phone system with you, run the port, and stay on the line until your calls are flowing, with US based support and an engineer who knows your deployment by name.
Over Voxtelesys
Voxtelesys charges $0.01 a minute in both directions. We charge $0.006 inbound and $0.009 outbound, so you save 40% on every inbound minute. Toll-free is where the gap gets serious. Their inbound toll-free is $0.025 a minute against our $0.00975, a 61% difference that never shows up in a headline comparison. Then come the add-ons. Inbound caller ID name is $1.00 per number per month with them and free with us. Text-enabling a number is another $1.00 per number per month, also free with us. Porting a local number to them costs $8.00 each, so moving twenty numbers is $160 before you have made a single call. We port free. Their metered plan requires a four line minimum, the discounted per-line rates in their term agreement only apply if you sign a one, two, or three year commitment, and PBX support is sold separately on top of that. We do not lock you into a term to get a fair rate, and we do not charge extra to help you. Onboarding, configuration, and porting are hands-on from day one, done by US based engineers who do this every day.
Over Callcentric
Callcentric sells outbound in minute bundles that stop at 2,500. Past that every minute bills at $0.0198, so their effective rate climbs the more you talk. At 6,000 outbound minutes they work out to $0.0165 a minute and at 30,000 they reach $0.0191, against our flat $0.009. That is a 46% to 53% difference, and it moves the wrong way as you grow. Their unlimited calling plans are restricted to residential customers by their own terms, so a business cannot buy flat rate outbound from them at any price. We sell $20 per channel unlimited to anyone. Every number carries a setup fee too, $3.95 or $8.95 depending on plan, which is $83 to $183 on a twenty number move where we charge nothing. And their messaging is not built for business at all. Their own SMS page lists no MMS support, no A2P, bulk, or commercial messaging, and no texting on toll-free numbers. If you send appointment reminders or run two-way support texting, that is not a price comparison, it is a capability they do not offer and we do. On top of all of it, you get US based support that picks up, and an engineer who stays with you from the first port request through the day everything is running.
